Rock band Thirsty Merc are donating their time to a fundraising gig for Coalcliff Surf Life Saving Club on March 30.

They’ll be joined by four other music groups at Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul to help raise money for the upkeep of surf club operations.

“It was a community of people coming together once a month on a Sunday and people are genuinely missing that great family afternoon and great opportunity for musicians to display their talent,” he said.

The five-year-old gig was the main avenue for fundraising for the club and came to a halt last December after noise complaints.
